Swap ARB from Arbitrum One to USDC on Solana

Swap ARB from Arbitrum One to USDC on Solana. ARB leaves Arbitrum One and Circle USDC arrives here on Solana.

Sell governance token 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. Arbiscan, chain id 42161, not Nova. ARB is not gas. Hold ETH. Receive EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v. Solscan shows that Circle mint. Phantom holds it. There is no ERC-20 approval on Solana and no ARB mint in the output. Slots near 400 milliseconds are not a schedule.

The governance token does not become an SPL ARB

You will not find this route's output by searching Solscan for ARB. The output can be Circle's USDC mint. Voting weight on the sold tokens ends. They are not escrowed for a proposal and they are not bridged as themselves. If you still need the vote, reduce the size before you approve 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548.

A market into six-decimal USDC

ARB floats. The minimum USDC expires. Eighteen decimals against six. Read whole tokens. How to bridge assets between chains will not freeze the ARB price while you switch from an EVM wallet to Phantom. The recipient must be the Solana address, opened in that second wallet.

ETH to leave, SOL to continue

The approval is an Arbitrum transaction, paid in ETH. Solana will not show an approve method for the USDC mint. Native SOL is still what pays later fees. This page does not deliver So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. An empty Phantom can receive poorly if it cannot pay rent or fees.

Wrong destination shape

Stop if you need ARB to remain ARB. Stop if you need Tether's SPL mint or wrapped SOL. Stop if the deposit address is 0x. Stop on Nova. Stop if you wanted Arbitrum Circle USDC at 0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831 as the thing that arrives. That contract is not an SPL mint. Before you sign, compare 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 with EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v on their explorers and stop if either address on the quote differs. If the quote expires, request another and read the new minimum before you sign. The destination fee token is a different balance from the one this route can credit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap ARB from Arbitrum One to USDC on Solana?

Sell governance token 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548. Arbiscan, chain id 42161, not Nova. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Will I hold ARB in Phantom?

No. You sell 0x912CE59144191C1204E64559FE8253a0e49E6548 on Arbitrum One. The mint that can arrive is EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v, Circle USDC, on Solscan. Voting power on the sold amount ends. There is no ERC-20 approval on Solana. The recipient is a Solana address, not 0x. Confirm that address on the explorer before you sign, and refresh the quote if it has expired.

Is this the Arbitrum USDC contract?

No. Arbitrum Circle USDC is 0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831, and it is not the receive asset. Solana uses the EPjFW mint. They are both Circle and they are not the same runtime. A slot near 400 milliseconds does not merge them. Check Phantom, not Arbiscan, for the credit.

What pays for the ARB approval?

Native ETH on chain id 42161, sentinel 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. ARB cannot pay it. SOL cannot pay it. You may also want SOL in Phantom later, because USDC will not pay Solana fees. Nova is the wrong source chain. Confirm that address on the explorer before you sign, and refresh the quote if it has expired.
